Tequila Thirst for RuPaul's Drag Race UK S8 / BBC
Age: 39
Hometown: London
Introduce yourself!
“The bar is open, and I’m Tequila Thirst! I’m a bubbly, bright, fun queen who is thirsty by name and thirsty by nature! I live in Chester, but I’m originally from North London.”
How would you describe your drag?
“I’m multi-talented. I’m a host, a singer, a dancer, I do it all! At a Tequila Thirst show, you will be up dancing and singing along and I just love fun. Sometimes you just need a bright light. I love colourful, bright, drag dance outfits, cartoons and anime, that’s what I grew up on. I’ve always been creative. I loved doing cosplay, making outfits and going to Comic-Con, and six years ago a friend put me in drag. On the first day I was in drag, I entered a competition, won my first ever lip sync and discovered a new power! And so now here I am fulfilling my dreams on Drag Race UK!”
Are you a competitive queen?
“I can hold my own. My first career was in the corporate dog eat dog business world and since then, I’ve won my fair share of drag competitions. So, get ready for a shot of tequila coming your way, but please remember to drink responsibly!”
Why do you deserve to win the crown?
“It would mean so much to me. Tequila is a burst of energy and colour spreading joy and light to the world and winning would validate me and my drag. I want the whole world to know who she is. Tequila for Prime Minister, anybody?”
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK returns next month on BBC Three and iPlayer.
